Disgraced Republican Dipshit and Professional Racist George "Macaca" Allen is trying to launch a political comeback with a book due out next year called The Triumph of Character: What Washington Can Learn from the World of Sports:

In The Triumph of Character, Allen brings together two all-American passions -- politics and sports -- and reveals what Washington could learn from the enduring principles found in athletic competition and team sports. Having spent the better part of his life with one foot in both the world of sports and the world of politics, Allen will draw parallels and contrasts between the two arenas. Using his own engaging and entertaining personal stories, Allen will illustrate how "characters with character" in the meritocracy of sports can provide principled, competitive examples of the ways to surmount challenges facing America.

I hope he intends to include the anecdote about the time he and some of his friends, the day before their predominantly white high school was set to play a big game against a predominantly black high school, spray-painted racist graffiti on schoolgrounds -- and, in quite the clever twist, made the graffiti appear to be the work of the black students from the opposing school by using phrases like "Die Whitey" and "Burn, Baby, Burn."

There's a lot to learn from that story about George Allen's character, methinks.
